Cetatea Neamtului

Cetatea Neamtului:
- a fost construita de Petru Musat, cu un secol inainte de Stefan cel Mare, care a construit podul nou si zidul curtii exterioare, facand-o de necucerit, iar Vasile Lupu a salvat-o de la daramare, transformand-o in manastire
- podul ii directioneaza pe cei ce trec pe el cu partea stanga catre padure (cea cu scutul) si cu cea neaparata catre cetate, ceea ce-i face foarte vulnerabili loviturilor de sageata
- podul are o curbura ce nu permite intrarea pe acesta cu berbece
- caii nu intra pe pod, din cauza fobiei de inaltime
- la capatul podului este o capcana, numita capcana de "soareci" , ce nu permite ocolirea, singura optiunea a armatei adverse fiind sa se opreasca, dar cei din spate alergand ptr a scapa cat mai repede de arcasi ii imping pe cei din fata in groapa
- nu s-a intrat decat de 3 ori in cetate si atunci numai prin deschiderea portilor de catre cei din interior:
- prima data s-a intrat cu ajutorul boierilor tradatori
- a II-a oara a intrat Mihai Viteazul, primit ca oaspete
- a III-a oara a fost asediata cetatea si avand camera de provizii aproape goala (cand aceasta era plina putea sa adoposteasca mancare pentru cei 100 de soldati necesari timp de ani intregi, iar resursele de apa erau infinite, datorita fantanii din mijlocul curtii interioare) si putini soldati, au facut un pact cu dusmanii prin care erau lasati sa intre, daca cei din cetate erau lasati sa iasa vii

The British Islands

Great Britain, the United Kingdom, England, the British Islands or the British Isles are often confused and perceived as one and the same. But in fact, each of those terms designates a different territory, as follows:

• Great Britain consists of Scotland, England and Wales.
• United Kingdom includes Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
• Ireland is composed of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
• British Isles/Islands are everything mentioned above, namely Scotland, England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The History of The Internet

The Internet is a global system which serves billions of users worldwide, containing millions of smaller domestic, academic, business and governmental networks, which present all kinds of information and services, such as e-mail, online chat, file transfer and the inter-linked web pages and documents of the World Wide Web, abbreviated in the famous WWW.

A landmark in its evolution is at the end of the 20th century, when it began the first era in which the people who own a website can have a means of exposure on a scale comparable to mass media’s.

The rest of the history of the Internet is full of stodgy technical terms on which it’s not important to focus on now, as for the moment I suppose it’s enough to know that the whole story started in the late ‘60’s, with the purpose of serving the US’ army.

Efectele poluarii apelor

Consecintele aduse de poluarea apelor se resimt la sute de mii de km distanta fata de apele curgatoare in care s-au deversat agentii poluanti, astfel incat, in final, substantele poluante ajung in mari si oceane, unde produc efecte cu adevarat devastatoare. Unul dintre cele mai obisnuite si des intalnite efecte ale poluarii apelor este vegetatia verde de la suprafata apei. Din cauza acestui gros strat verde, razele soarelui nu mai pot patrunde spre straturile din adancuri, deci plantele acvatice care produc oxigenul necesar vietuitoarelor din apa nu le mai pot sustine pe acestea in viata. In plus, anumite specii de alge albastre produc substante toxice care omoara pestii si cauzeaza interzicerea activitatilor de agrement pe lacuri, in lunile de vara.

In afara faptului ca vietuitoarele acvatice mor, un efect deosebit de grav este eutrofizarea lacurilor, numita si "moartea" acestora, ce consta in faptul ca, incetul cu incetul, lacul se ingusteaza si dispare.

De fapt, nocivitatea poluarii apei cauzeaza, direct sau indirect, omului si de aceea este esentiala cunoasterea problemei in amanunt de catre fiecare dintre noi.

The History of Television (TV)

Television (mainly abbreviated as “TV”) is a telecommunication medium, a bidirectional path for moving images that can be monochrome or coloured with optional accompanying sound.

The first TV was invented in 1884 by the German student Paul Nipkow and in 1925, John Baird, a Scottish inventor, succeeded in transmitting moving silhouette images through Nipkow’s machine. It had 30 lines resolution. In 1926 it appeared one with 40 lines resolution, in 1927 one with 100 lines resolution and so on. In 1940, it had started to be developed the coloured TV transmission.

The television has been improving since then and nowadays it’s completely different, as trying to compare Nipkow’s TV with the actual Smart TV, so we have to notice the incredibly fast evolution. In only one century we came to this.

The Yoyo Cell

SITUATION: "You, walking down the street, stressed about your discharged phone and bored to death... :-("

Talking about the presented situation (which happens to everybody pretty often), we see that it comes with 2 problems, so 2 necessities. First: a phone charger and 2nd: a toy.

The Yo yo Cell

Well, I have the perfect solution for this situation: THE YO YO CELL!!!


It has the basic functions of a phone and by dragging out its built-in earphones cable it turns into a yo yo. Playing with the yo yo, you charge the phone!!! Isn't it perfect?

The Yoyo charge

Also, if you don't want to lose the functionality of a smart-phone, you can by a yo yo charger. See it in the picture.


Would you buy a yo yo cell or a yo yo charger? I think the 2nd option is really interesting.

Introduction in Origami

Today I've decided to start a new series of articles about origami, the traditional Japanese art which consists in creating paper figurines. For the beginning, you should know why it is called "origami": the name comes from the Japanese words "ori", that means "to fold", and "kami", that means "paper".


The base of origami is folding the coloured paper, for representing different animals, birds, boats, flowers etc. obtained by various combinations of surfaces and lines. There is the possibility of creating a large diversity of figurines, which confers a plus of originality to this art.

Some people treated origami as a simple game, but the most of them considered it as art, due to the possibility to represent creatively and realistically different subjects. The true beauty of the origami art is...

Povestea fustelor scotiene

Cel mai celebru articol vestimentar scotian din toate timpurile este cu siguranta klit-ul, adica fusta scotiana in carouri, ce era si inca este purtata numai de barbati.
In vechime, klit-ul era purtat tot timpul, mai ales in timpul luptelor intre clanurile scotiene, unde se deosebeau dupa tartan.Tartanul reprezenta culorile si modelul carourilor fustei, fiecare model apartinand unui anumit clan regional scotian.

Vineri, 13: A doua oara in acest an

Pentru cei superstitiosi ziua de vineri, 13 se spune ca aduce mult ghinion, la fel si ziua de marti, 13. In acest an este a doua oara cand 13 pica vinerea, respectiv ianuarie si aprilie (azi!!!), iar in luna martie a picat marti.
Eu nu sunt superstitioasa, dar in general zilele de 7 si 13 imi aduc noroc oricand pica, dar nu ma bazez pe asta. Lasati comentarii cu parerile voastre despre aceasta superstitie a zilelor de 13.

Water pollution

              Everyday we bring Earth one step closer to be totally destroyed and one of the main factors leading to this is water pollution.

              By discharging the garbage and the toxic waste in the water we affect plants and organisms living there and, sooner or later, their species will disappear forever. In most countries there are laws which protect the rivers and all it means water by contamination, but anyway this fact happens!

              I’m sure that at least one time you saw people dumping their trash into a river, heard about oil spill from ships or about other factors that cause water pollution, whose authors are the people, themselves victims of this environmental disaster.

              But what about the solutions found for this problem?

              At present, the water pollution’s problem can’t be solved by just a snap of our fingers. Solving this will take time if we really want to eliminate it.

              Anyway, water pollution is a huge problem which can’t be handle so easy, but the people must solve it before remain ”Earth-less”.

Cel mai mare numar prim gasit vreodata

Cel mai mare numar prim cunoscut a fost descoperit de cei de la Universitatea din California la Los Angeles. Numarul are 13 milioane de cifre si au fost folosite 75 de calculatoare foarte puternice simultan pentru efectuarea unui numar imens de calcule, destinate gasirii acestui numar. Cercetatorii erau intr-un concurs al  Fundatiei Electronic Frontier, ce a oferit ca premiu 100.00$ pentru gasirea unui numar prim cu mai mult de 10 milioane de cifre. 

Dar acest numar are mai multe calitati, nu doar aceea de a fi cel mai mare numar prim cunosut si anume aceea de a fi un numar prim special, un numar Marsenne. Numerele prime Marsenne pot fi scrise ca 2 la puterea P minus 1, unde P este tot un numar prim! De exemplu 3 este un numar Marsenne, 7 este un numar Maresenne si... cel mai mare numar prim cunoscut este un numar Marsenne! In cazul acestui numar P=43.112.609, deci numarul prim este 2^43.112.609-1!!!
